Quadcopter DJI Mini 3 Pro — 48 MP camera, 3840×2160 video, 2453 mAh battery, 0.249 kg, white

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is an ultralight foldable quadcopter weighing under 249 g and designed for easy transport and storage. It records high-resolution stills up to 48 MP and captures video up to 4K at 60 fps. The aircraft supports a maximum operating distance of 18,000 m and reaches speeds up to 16 m/s. Built-in connectivity includes Wi‑Fi (multiple standards) and Bluetooth 5.2, and it uses a 2453 mAh Li‑Ion battery for typical flight durations up to about 34 minutes with the standard Intelligent Flight Battery.

Advantages

Compact and lightweight construction reduces regulatory constraints in many countries and simplifies carrying. Advanced obstacle sensing—forward, backward and downward vision sensors plus ToF and APAS 4.0—improves in‑flight safety in complex environments. A 1/1.3‑inch image sensor with dual‑native ISO enables direct HDR output and sharp 48 MP photos, while video at up to 4K/60fps supports professional‑level capture. Intelligent automated modes such as FocusTrack, MasterShots and Timelapse make complex shots easier to produce.

Suitable for

• Aerial photography and videography for hobbyists and content creators
• Travel and outdoor use where portability is important
• Short professional shoots requiring high-resolution photos and 4K video

When it may not be suitable

The Mini 3 Pro is optimized for portability and consumer‑to‑prosumer use; it may not be ideal when extended flight time beyond the standard battery’s ~34 minutes is required without swapping batteries. It is also not a substitute for larger professional drones that carry heavy payloads, specialized sensors, or long‑range enterprise equipment.

How to use

Before flight, fully charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and install a compatible MicroSDXC card. Unfold the aircraft, power on the drone and remote controller, and connect via the DJI app to perform preflight checks and firmware updates. Use the app to select camera settings, enable obstacle sensing and choose automated modes like FocusTrack or MasterShots. Follow local regulations for takeoff, maintain visual line of sight, and land the drone in a clear area when the battery reaches the recommended reserve level.

What to consider before purchase

• Local drone regulations and whether a sub‑249 g weight exempts you from registration
• Required flight time and whether additional batteries or a battery combo are needed
• Compatibility with MicroSDXC cards and preferred storage speed/class for 4K video
• Need for advanced payloads or features found on larger professional drones

Usage recommendations

Use the Mini 3 Pro for portable, high‑resolution aerial imaging: plan flights, check weather and GPS signal strength, enable obstacle sensing, and carry spare charged batteries for longer sessions. For best image quality, shoot in good light and select appropriate ISO and shutter settings in the app.
